Truck looks to be in amazing condition for that kind of mileage. Are those front seats original? If that was GM leather you'd be on your third set of seat covers.

I don't think that interior is all original, but I could be mistaken. It does look great though. I have a (rare) 2000 Lariat LE PSD CC LB dually and I love my truck.
Fund Razor:
I have bought my last few vehicles in cash. When traveling, try to see if you can find a branch of your bank in the same town as the vehicle, then just pull out the cash and do the transaction in the bank. Or, have a cashiers check written on the BUYER's bank's check, and go to one of his branches and have them cash the check in front of both of you; as such they verify it by calling the bank that you had the check written at.
I took a trip with $27,000 on me in cash to buy my dually on a Sunday. I was a nervous wreck. I won't do that again. I carry a piece now, but still...

The interior is original, but they did not use the same leather on this edition as the normal trucks, it is called a "Ball Ranch" never heard of it before, must be a Texas thing, but yes the interior has held up very well, thenagain, I have had 200K on a couple Explorers and the interior was perfect, I am a tad anal taking care of my vehicles though...

I have done the bank check (draft) thing. But it seems that in the last few months they have really changed the fund availability policy at some banks. I took a local bank check to another local bank when I distributed some funds from an estate that I am executor of, and they put a 5 day hold on the bank check. I haven't tried the SAME bank's check... but it just seems they have gone to the extreme on the availability thing.
Last out of state purchase that I made, I didn't take a gun. I took Sunkin.
I have also deposited cash directly into a friend's account when buying parts so that there would be no hold, and the bank managed to even screw THAT up.

Funny think happened over the weekend. After all that back and forth on SUV vs truck and seeing a few trucks that I like... I went back to looking for Excursions.
I found a 2000 Excursion gasser near me with 125,000 miles that seems very clean. Priced right. I could cross the "bigger boat" towing problem bridge later. I haven't even finished my 28 yet.
May go see it today. It's only 20 miles from work.

I purchased a 1985 Sub, 4:10 Dana 60 front, 4:10 14bff in rear, 4l80e, np205 and 454 carb. It will pass everything but a gas station. Pulls my 25 Talon with 110 gal. of fuel fine. I only drive it 2k a yr. 8k in hole package and everthing is refurbished. If I had the $ I would buy the Exscursion diesel. Have experience in a couple. The v-10 gas is a beast! If you are going to drive it daily I would go diesel. Good luck and keep us posted.
beautiful lookin truck, how many miles and aa price if ya dont mind? Thanks Jaime

Question for you guys that your rigs match your boat is your truck painted or do they make a wrap that you put on your truck? I thought if we could find a white 3/4 or 1 ton truck it would be nice to someday have the truck match but if painted then the downside would be when you go to sell it who would want it.
